What is your primary feeling in longing?

In longing, you feel frustration. You feel that you've almost reached your desire one too many times and you don't understand why you keep getting denied. You feel the universe is taunting you, playing just beyond your reach and leaving you on the brink of breaking every time it dances away. When you let yourself feel your yearning, you bury your face in your hands and turn to look at the sky, not expecting an answer, but pleading for relief. There's a burn in your heart that you just can't explain in words but it's deep, you can feel it in your throat and just under your chest. You take a deep breath and exhale heavily. It settles you enough to continue on as you were. You see others living your desire and you don't feel jealous per se, but the burn raises in intensity and you just wish... something. You want change from your current situation, at this point, you don't really care what it is, just... something. Have courage my dear, you can brave the fires of this world if you so wish.

[phantomhowl]

" GO OFF , KING ! "

▬▬ She's yelling from the far, far background.

[phantomhowl]

She's reading that headcanon post and thinking very intently.

" You know what, anon? YOU RAISE A GOOD POINT . "

" Why not meet Jackie ? I could even give her a little SURPRISE- "

" . . . Let her meet her precious daughter again . . ."

What's peculiar about your soul?

Your soul is... Volatile.

There is a deep, painful energy harbored within this soul... At its very core festers malice, and a deeply rooted pain that craves nothing more but to inflict itself onto everything around it. Special care has been given to it- to stop examiners from coming into any harm should they draw too near to it. You coil like a serpent, awaiting a moment to strike. To claim your revenge. It never comes.

@ask-the-infiltrators : Gonna be honest, Phantom looks super tired all the time. I would say she may feel better after a nap, but we all know the nightmares will not let her. Sad...

" I can't remember the last time I slept . "

[phantomhowl]

How Adorable Are you?

Phantom is 75% adorable. Very unusual, definite girlfriend material

" This thing is broken . "

[phantomhowl]

" I'm ' sus ' for disguising as Whisper ? " " WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ? "

This should be it. There shouldn't really be a way for someone of flesh and bone to get through this. She'd suspect even Metal Sonic would have issues with this, and that's why she wasn't expecting it. Wasn't expecting the sudden bony claw that intercepted her and clutched at her face. There's a choked noise as all that momentum comes to a sudden halt, and then she's being hurled to the ground before she could even hope of recovering from it.

Dazed would be a good word for it, as she has to blink the blinding lights out of her eyes. Staring up at Phantom with eyes that aren't quite focused yet. It would be easy to deal with the hedgehog now, of course, so why didn't...

She doesn't have time to focus on it. That slam rattled her hard and just opened the wound in her torso all the more. As much as she didn't want to disengage, there wasn't much choice in the matter. Too many people were relying on her, after all, and that's why this was agony to do.

"Maybe next time, then!"

She curls, that revving of quills against ground before launching herself homed in to Phantom's head. All blunt force, to bounce off and then bolt away with a boom of force that sent what few trees that had survived the the encounter. It was awful, of course, to have to choose to run, but things weren't working like they should from that violent slam to the ground she'd taken.

All that blood gushing out of her that's forcing her to concentrate with all her might to keep the acceleration going she could worry about her ego later. Could worry about Phantom later. Just needed to get some time to recuperate after.. whatever that was.

[phantomhowl]

▬▬ Phantom gets knocked right onto her back by the homing attack. She's not dead, or injured in any further way- she just... doesn't feel like getting up. Her head is swimming with thoughts and emotions that she still doesn't understand. After a while of laying there in the grass- amidst the pools of blood and splintered wood- she sits up, and looks down at her skeletonized hand. The bones start to shake- struggling to maintain their form.

▬▬ Phantom snarls, clutches the bones into a fist- and steadily, the flesh begins to grow back.

▬▬ She hates when they both wake up like that. Her eyes track over her body as it steadily begins to regenerate- and she considers it with the understanding that any of the flesh generated by the ruby is not her original body- but a replacement.

She's a monster. She always will be.

[fstbmp-a]

Sonic was relieved as Phantom starts slowing. She could talk a big game, but purposefully letting herself get wounded early-on was a misplay on her part. She could keep this up for awhile, but keeping this pace was a chore when the hedgehog wasn't at her peak. So she took a moment, when the other doubles over--

Eyes are wide when the stream of blood escapes the wolf's maw, and especially so when Phantom is up and ready even more than before. This wasn't going to end, was it?

"Aw, I thought we got this across already. Ain't my style."

This is going to go on forever, until one of them tired out, and it's hard to tell which one might fall first if she kept this pace up. At best, she can only hope to find a way to incapacitate the other and potentially get away...

She's hunkering down, bracing hands against the ground as energy sparks off her in waves, green hues bleeding blue as she got into position for a full-on sprint. This was going to be a big one. She rushed, hitting those high speeds again as it was clear what she was aiming for in an instant. A tempest was building around Phantom, all sharp air rending the earth itself as it began encircling Phantom. Trying to trap her in to make her an easy target.

"Not too late t' hightail it outta here, either. Ya seem a little worse for wear!"

[phantomhowl]

▬▬ Phantom seems to go into some kind of trance. She's not talking anymore- her expression has gone almost neutral- and she just stares forward into the building whirlwind. Her eyes track the streaks of blue that Sonic leave as she continues to build the storm around her.

▬▬ She thrusts her hand into the whirlwind with reckless abandon. The razor winds immediately start picking away at her arm, peeling fur and flesh away bit by bit. But she waits. She waits. The very instant that Sonic crosses near her hand she lunges forward and grips her face in her claw.

▬▬ Phantom lifts UP- BACK- and THROWS sonic to the ground.

Her right arm is nothing but stringy flesh and bone, somehow still holding together and moving as if it were undamaged. Yet she still doesn't seem bothered in the slightest. She's just staring Sonic down- not even trying to attack her again, just... standing there.

YOU COULD KILL HER WHERE SHE STANDS. she's trying to help us... WHY ARE YOU HESITATING. It doesn't have to be like this...

▬▬ Phantom clutches her hands to the sides of her head, and growls. Shut up. SHUT UP.

[fstbmp-a]

Here she comes. This time it's at least expected. A gap between them that can be used. So as Phantom lunges, she merely uses all that speed to close the distance, weaving around claw. Using the other's larger size against her to make it bothersome to get the hedgehog.

Decides to stick too close, darting this way and that at such speeds there's several of the blue blur flickering about. Voice never staying in the same spot. It's a risky tactic to start now that she's already bleeding, tiring herself out too, but now she saw it. There was some hesitation there.

"Well, we can fix that, can't we? C'mon, we've got as long as you want t' keep this up. Never even told me your name. Said you were some version o' her, so ya got a new name? C'mon, you know mine. It's only fair if we're gonna be friends that ya give me yours, ain't it?"

[phantomhowl]

▬▬ The moment Phantom misses her lunge, she jumps into another- and another- and another- each falling just short of the hedgehog's speed. Fleetway was right. She can be a real stick in the mud sometimes- it's always when people try to play to what little morality is left clinging to its life in her head. The remnants of who she was, before the ruby. Her weakness. She should just kill the hedgehog where she stood- maintain an isolated illusion to force them into a more close-quarters situation. No matter how much she tries, she just can't focus hard enough. The shouting won't stop. The voices won't go away. Can't decide, can't decide, CAN'T DECIDE-

" WE ARE NOT FRIENDS ! " " YOU WANT ME TO STOP ? KILL ME . "

She feels like there's a frog jumping around in her head...

▬▬ There's a certain sluggishness that her swipes start to take on- and after a moment or two, Phantom doubles over onto her hands and knees, and vomits up a stream of her own blood. Then she's just- right back up and gearing up to attack her again. Entirely unfazed by what'd just happened. She actually seems more energized now that she'd done that.

IGNORE THE HURTING. YOURS IS A TRUE STRENGTH, AND IT WILL NOT BE DENIED.
